GREG NORMAN

I just finished watching the Wednesday pre-Masters par-3 contest. My favorite part was when Greg Norman made the ace on #6.
He's famous for taking a six-shot lead into the final round in 1996 and then choking to let Nick Faldo win his third Masters. Greg Norman managed to get invited this year because he made second or third in last year's British Open -- he choked in that one too, letting Paddy Harrington take it. I wonder how he'll do this weekend.
I remember watching him being interviewed in 1996 right after he lost. He said something to the effect of, "oh, well -- my life will go on." And it did. $$he got into the golf course design $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ business and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ has his own brand of turfgrass$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and several $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ real $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ estate $$$$$$$$$ developments $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and wine producing $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ land in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Australia $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ endorsements $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and golf equipment lines $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ man $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$has $$$$$$$ made $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ so $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ money.
Here's a perspective of how much money:
Tiger Woods has won about 80 million in total prize money over the years. Greg Norman paid that for a boat.
And he got to marry Chris Evert Lloyd.
He is my hero.
